When those in power constantly lied about the little things, it isn't hard to see why people have tuned out--and even questioned whether masks were even effective against the virus.

I gotta say, the Titan submersible DID have several trips to the Titanic without imploding.
Now, using American pandemic logic, that means that the majority of trips were FINE and you have NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.
So go ahead. Take a dive. Statistically you'll be safe. 🤷‍♀️ It's science.

COVID-19 virus is evolving rapidly in white-tailed deer.
White-tailed deer across Ohio have been infected with the virus that causes COVID-19, new research has found – and the results also show that viral variants evolve about three times faster in deer than in humans. Scientists collected 1,522 nasal swabs from free-ranging deer in 83 of the state’s 88 counties between November 2021 and March 2022. More than 10% of the samples were positive for the…

I'm actually so sick and fucking tired of people who think covid is comparable to the flu. Just bc you or a family member got it and didn't die doesn't mean it's not super fucking serious and life threatening, ESPECIALLY for disabled people/people with health issues/autoimmune disorders. Every time my father sees me wearing a mask he rants about how covid is just like the flu and that everyone is over reacting and [insert shitty conspiracy theory here] and it makes me so upset every goddamn time. I got covid half a year ago, despite doing everything right, thanks to my parents' stupidity. I was sick for 13 days, entirely bedridden and feverish for 9 of those days. I physically couldn't get out of bed, not even to piss, the entire first day my mother had to half carry me everywhere. Same thing the second day, when she dragged me to the doctor where I tested positive. The first five days, I couldn't even look at an electronic device and had to keep the lights off all the time bc I'd actually vomit. I had a migraine that didn't go away no matter what medicine I took, for the entire the first week. My nose was constantly stuffy and my sinuses were so backed up I couldn't breathe through my nose, which made breathing in general so difficult and painful bc my asthma was also exacerbated. So my chest hurt too. All my normal chronic pain was magnified tenfold. I had a 103 fever for three days in a row, then it fluctuated between 98-100 the rest of the time. Thinking about it right now I still remember the pain and how it felt. I've had strep throat, a lot as a kid. I've had chicken pox, and the flu several times, because my parents never fucking vaccinated us. I have never been more sick in my goddamn life than I was with covid. And this is just me. Yes I'm disabled and yes I'm still being tested for possible autoimmune disorders (my mom and her whole side of the family have them) but even still I'm not nearly as at risk as a lot of people, and I was still more affected than anyone in my entire family, who have all also gotten covid because of their own stupidity. My taste and smell were never affected, but I'm still losing hair from it, which is apparently also a symptom I never knew about.
Wear. Your fucking. Masks. Covid is still around, it's still super fucking serious, it is NOT just like the flu, and you had fucking better take it seriously. Even if you don't care about getting it yourself, at least show some goddamn consideration for others whose health and lives are at risk.

Health disparities between Black and white Americans run deep in the U.S.
Black people are more likely to suffer from chronic conditions like diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, or asthma, and their life expectancy is shorter than that of their white peers. The causes for these inequities are far-reaching and include bias and systemic racism in health care and medical treatments, lack of access to care, and economic differences. Advocates, researchers, and health systems have been looking for ways to address these issues — chipping away at different aspects of the problem. (listen)

Some people are justifying the US CDC potentially weakening its COVID isolation guidelines because other countries like the UK have already done it for a while.
Let's check in on how the UK is doing

How Lawmakers in Texas and Florida Undermine Covid Vaccination Efforts.
Katherine Wells wants to urge her Lubbock, Texas, community to get vaccinated against covid-19. “That could really save people from severe illness,” said Wells, the city’s public health director. But she can’t. A rule added to Texas’ budget that went into effect Sept. 1 forbids health departments and other organizations funded by the state government to advertise, recommend, or even list covid…

American Tumblr concert peeps, especially MCR Fans; can I get some help here? I'm trying to figure out what my chances are of avoiding covid, as a fully vaxxed and doubled boostered person possibly going to an indoor MCR concert.
How many of y'all have been to concerts and got covid? Which state were you in?
What was your vaxxed status ( one shot, fully vaxxed, fully vaxxed and one boostered, fully vaxxed and double boostered) and did you wear a mask??
What was your venue like? indoor or outdoor? And where were you located in the venue (boxes, nose bleeds, pit, standing, etc)? Comment or reblog with comment :)!
For those of you who didn't catch covid, the same questions apply :>!

I live in The United States, and views on COVID range drastically depending on where you are and who you speak to individually.
In some cities/towns, you’ll occasionally see a few people here and there wearing masks (especially in more urban areas, from what I’ve noticed).
In other areas though, you won’t see a mask in sight.
My Dad lives a conservative, rural town, and every time I go there, and go to local places, I’ve never seen a single person wearing a mask…
It seems like in some areas, people act exactly like pre-2020, as if COVID doesn’t exist, and never has.
Unfortunately, COVID in The United States has also become “political”.
Some people think it’s a major public health crisis, while others think “it’s just a cold” and “the government is trying to scare you so they can control you with masks, vaccines, and lockdowns.”
So, if you live outside of the U.S., I’m curious…
Do your News Channels ever talk about COVID?
What about your friends, family, community? (schools, work environments) Do they ever mention it? Do they ever take safety precautions?
Do you still see people in public wearing masks?
Was COVID made into a “political issue”, like in the United States?
How is COVID generally treated in your country? (as of September 2023)
